sunday run was at the lookout and my mind set was to stay with the fast group for as long as i can
this in the end was not to bad as we did some hill training if any of you know the lookout has some good  hills to run up and down then it was back to the cafe for coffee and cake
monday was out on my new mt bike as i had to plan that nights run
monday night club run this was a 6 mil run around the woods then it was off to the pub
for a  1/2 a cider
tues was going to be gym in the morn then run in  the eve but only made the gym
as my stomach played up thro out the day so that stop me running grrrrrrrr
wed the 1st YRR out of 3 that we run
for the site team its a very long day that starts at 9.30 am loading the van getting to the school
and start setting up for the 10 km race and the fun run
at the end of the 10 km race we pack up the van and take it back to storage then  home time 10.30 pm
the feed back we have had  has made all worth it
